Chris Duncan

I have worked in the fitness industry since 2003 and have spent more than two decades helping people improve their health, fitness and quality of life. Throughout my career I have worked as a Personal Trainer, Business Coach, Mentor and Educator, supporting both clients and fitness professionals to achieve meaningful and sustainable results. My experience spans body composition, strength training, behaviour change, habit development and long-term health improvement. In addition to working directly with clients, I currently mentor and coach personal trainers across Australia, helping them develop successful and sustainable businesses within the fitness industry. I believe great coaching goes beyond exercise programs and focuses on creating practical solutions that people can maintain for life.

David Mummery

Wow! Over a quarter of a century in the fitness industry. I've coached a lot of stuff. Running coach, spin coach, crewing coach, circuits, lots and lots of weight training. Now primal movement for the last 14 years. Out of everything this had the most profound effect on my body. My body shape changed quickly and I quickly added lean muscle. Fast forward and we open 'Primal Moves'. 6 years we pushed this along but to no avail. Ah well! We're closed now back to the drawing board...I am looking for another space. In the meantime you can find me at MyoStrength and Performance in Plenty Road, Preston for 1 on 1 coaching and at ARC Pilates in Northcote coaching Animal Flow. I recently became a Stick Mobility Essentials Coach. Even at 58 you can learn new stuff.

Heather Anderson

I have been working part time in the fitness industry for over 15 years. Since my teen years I have always been into fitness and enjoyed being active. As the years go on and high intensity exercise takes its toll on the body, I decided that I am going to need other forms of exercise that are not so demanding on the joints of the body to keep me fit and healthy. I had been looking at Pilates for quite some time and in 2014 decided this is what I wanted to do for my clients - as well as keeping my own body strong. Once I started my training with Aligned for Life Pilates I couldn't believe the benefits it was having and have not looked back since. Combining both Pilates and Fitness training enables me to be able offer my clients a mix of strength, cardio and stretching workouts which are suitable for both young and older clients and offers variety so they never get bored!

Steve Proimos

A highly experienced personal trainer, motivator and friend. Having been a personal trainer since 2002, I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their goals. Everything I know, I share with my clients because knowledge is power and key to achieving results. As a PT, I practice what I preach, being a huge advocate for healthy living beyond the gym. My experience spans from strength training to Olympic lifting, Thai kickboxing, fat loss and mobility. The plans I design are customised to you. So if you’re after a nutrition plan and workout program that you can manage independently, I can do that. Or if you’re after a more hands on approach, I can do that too. While I don’t take myself too seriously, I do take goals seriously. So if you’re excited to change how you look and feel, let’s get the ball rolling now!

I am a big believer that everyone has the ability to be the best that they possibly can be. I have experienced how hard to Health and Fitness journey can be, ( having been on that journey myself) and its very daunting for some to start training with someone. I like to encourage clients to believe in themselves and their own abilities, with them knowing I will be there with them, believing in them too. I like to see clients grow within themselves, and amaze themselves over something I knew they were capable of all along, especially if they step outside there comfort zone.
